When I saw Corbett Creations sponsoring the sketches at Stick It Down, I decided to join in. And then I saw a double sketch. I used to do doubles all the time and now I so rarely do. So the sketch jumpstarted me to give a double a go!

This was the sketch.

And here is my take...

I started with some old Basic Grey paper and then added newer Cocoa Vanilla Studio papers for the triangles.

I added some stencilling with Colour Blast Colour Paste in snow white, before smooshing and splattering with some Distress Oxide Inks.

During my Easter scrapping time, I decided to join in with Scrap the Boys!

This month the challenge is to use geometric shapes.

When I found this old photo of my husband in his old Balmain tigers jersey, plus some wood veneer triangles, I was set!

I also used the chance to add an orange Charms Creations chevron {perfect match!}, so I can share this page and challenge over there this month!

I glued the triangles to the page. Then painted white gesso over the whole page, triangles and all. I also added more triangles to the page, using Colour Blast Colour Paste in Snow White through a triangle stencil.

Then I added colour using Colour Artist Inks (from Colour Blast): I used Spice, Cider and Citrus, plus some black soot to accent and splatter.

(I won't lie, things got really messy on this page. But somehow it came together, despite the few muddy patches - lol)

Here is a close up of the Charms, with some Flutterby stickers, a Dlish Flair and other bits and pieces.

By the time my page was nearly finished, I noticed that Cocoa Vanilla Studio was this month's sponsor... and I had not included a single CVS thing... then I found some orange enamel pluses from a pack and add them as a cute touch to finish.

So that's it! It was fun to take time out and do a challenge page. I don't seem to always have time each month to do that. Yay for Easter scrap sessions.

I combined some pink papers, with some white cardstock and soft pink paint splatters.

Loads of D-lish Scraps goodies, and of course, Charms Creations!

And then the second sketch...

I did some machine stitching - the circle and along the top, and then painted using Colour Artist Inks by Colour Blast Australia. I used less paper behind the photo, as I loved the stitched circle painted and did feel it needed more!
